Fundamentals of Corporate Taxation (University Casebook Series)
The eighth edition of this widely used casebook continues its long tradition of teaching the €œfundamentals€ of a highly complex subject with clear and engaging explanatory text, skillfully drafted problems, and a rich mix of original source materials to accompany the Code and regulations. Important highlights of the eighth edition include:

A discussion of the design options and prospects for fundamental corporate tax reform.
A revised chapter on capital structure with a new case and expanded coverage of hybrid instruments and a Note on the differences between financial and accounting treatment of debt and equity.
Full text of a 2008 published ruling on application of the step transaction doctrine to multi-step acquisitions.
Reorganized problem sets on acquisitive reorganizations and corporate divisions, with an emphasis on more efficient coverage in a transactional setting.
Pruning of dated materials and some technical minutia, and more tightly edited cases, notes and problems.
